Stitch Higher Up than Usual?

I've been running for a couple of years and have had the usual stitch before, just below the rib cage usually. However, occasionally (and I got this again today), I get a sharp pain which feels like a stitch but much higher up on the left side, a couple of inches below my armpit.

I've searched the forums and the net but all mentions of stitch appear to be the usual lower down kind. Has anyone experienced stitch higher up in this area?
